On CAPS, 98% of the 297 members who have rated CVR Partners believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those bulls, BlacknGold, highlighted the recent sale of its parent, CVR Energy, to billionaire Carl Icahn as a solid bargain opportunity:

CVR Partners seems to have fallen just on the simple observation that little information has been provided on how it fits into a plan to sell CVR Energy and maybe a little on the weaker than expected fertilizer prices this summer. I don't see how the business changes. ... Pet coke is to be provided from the adjacent oil refinery through 2027. The plant expansion next year should be good news if fertilizer prices recover. Also, the facility is next to the higher margin agricultural belt. ...

I may be a little biased, but it seems like a market overreaction to me. Either way, there's no reason for me to sell at these prices. I'll hold on and wait to see what happens. If the price slides to the mid teens I'll have to consider adding more shares.

If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, CVR Partners may not be your top choice.
